Lee Mija's 60th-anniversary song
was revealed for the first time on our show.
Let's give another round of applause
for Lee Mija.
I will now pick our first performer.
(Who will be going against Min Woohyuk?)
This person's stage will be very special.
This person won the final trophy
at the previous Lee Mija special.
Will this person move us again?
It's the amazing vocalist, Sonya.
(Sonya)
(Her voice moves us, Sonya)
This means
the winner of the first episode will compete
with the winner of the previous special.
She's the final winner of the first special
and he's the winner of today's first episode.
This person's previous stage was amazing.
Glamorous performance and good stage manner
brought this person the trophy.
Today,
he's going on stage alone.
He plans on showing off his singing ability.
He's Wanna One's vocalist, Kim Jaehwan.
(Kim Jaehwan)
- Kim Jaehwan. / - Wow, Kim Jaehwan.
(Wanna One's main vocalist, Kim Jaehwan)
All right.
She'll be shining the first stage today.
I'll just show everyone what I prepared
and then come back.
I tried hard to prepare for my performance.
I'll give my best.
All right, Sonya and Kim Jaehwan!
- Good luck! / - Good luck!
(Let's go Sonya and Kim Jaehwan!)
Hello, I'm Sonya.
It's been a while. Nice to see you.
(She sang "Goose Daddy" in 2014.)
(She became the final winner in 2014.)
Sonya! Take the trophy. Please applaud for her.
(Sonya is charismatic on stage.)
She's a role model for singers my age.
Without any ups and downs, she sang for a long time.
She was always at the top and she worked hard.
Her continued music life
is something we all want to copy.
I want to follow her.
She's the one who leads us all.
Today I prepared "Tell Me, Mountain Yudal".
("Tell Me, Mountain Yudal" was released in 1967.)
(The mountain is a metaphor)
(for the one she misses.)
(It was covered by many other artists.)
(At the time, the song was banned)
(because it resembled Japanese music.)
Here comes the seventh performer, Sonya!
(The seventh performance by Sonya)
(Sonya)
("Tell Me, Mountain Yudal" by Sonya)
(She sings of heartache from saying goodbye)
("Tell Me, Mountain Yudal" by Sonya)
(They're amazed.)
Tell me.
Sonya won the previous Lee Mija special.
"Tell Me, Mountain Yudal".
Mountain Yudal better answer her.
I feel like she was screaming on a mountain.
- On a mountain? / - Yes.
It was as if she went to a mountain to ask.
In the beginning, she sang very emotionally.
Then in the second verse, she got more emotional.
It was as if Mountain Yudal's volcano erupted.
- Hey. / - Excuse me.
Stop talking about the mountain.
Get rid of that thought.
- It erupted. / - Yongjun.
First, it was as if she climbed up a mountain,
then you said it was like a volcano eruption. Next?
The volcano ash covered the audience.
- The ash? / - I think they'll vote.
She didn't forget about Mija's touch.
She has a voice that could amplify it.
(Sonya versus Min Woohyuk)
All right, Im Jinmo.
Sonya sang "Tell Me, Mountain Yudal".
What kind of song is this?
Mija always says
that her best songs were from the 1960s.
"Camellia Lady", "The Island Teacher"
and "Goose Daddy" are the top three.
If this song wasn't banned,
this would have received a lot of love.
("Tell Me, Mountain Yudal" could have been popular.)
There were a lot of banned songs then.
All three songs I just listed were banned.
The songs were seen to have a Japanese style.
This song was also written by Ko Bongsan.
I realized once again how beautiful it is.
This song was banned.
If it didn't, it might be Lee Mija's
most famous song this day.
Sonya sang it beautifully.
Mija, what did you think of Sonya's performance?
I saw you with a huge smile when she finished.
Actually, most singers cannot sing this song.
This song has very high and very low notes.
Whenever I sing this, I get exhausted as well.
You have to bring it out from your stomach.
She sang it so well.
I want them to both win.
I see.
All right. Min Woohyuk won the first episode
with 420 votes.
Sonya sang beautifully
as the first performer of the second episode.
What will be the result?
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
(The result)
(Immortal Songs' storyteller)
(She's the one that touches our hearts.)
(Sonya versus Min Woohyuk)
It's a fierce competition.
Will the winner of the first episode get his third win?
("Journey" by Min Woohyuk)
("Tell Me, Mountain Yudal" by Sonya)
The previous winner of Lee Mija special
put on a strong stage. Will Sonya win?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(Who will be the winner?)
(Min Woohyuk)
Min Woohyuk.
(Min Woohyuk)
He won last week. Woohyuk was able
to contain the heat of the stage.
He won three times.
(Min Woohyuk continues his winning streak.)
That's amazing.
Hello, I'm Wanna One's Kim Jaehwan.
("Wanna One's fan club instantly grows in size")
("Summer Story" by DJ DOC)
(They put up a cool performance.)
(He's the main vocalist of Wanna One.)
(Rising star and singer, Kim Jaehwan)
I believe Lee Mija is a singer and artist
that consoled my mother and my grandmother.
I think I could feel a lot of resentment.
I chose a song called "Goose Daddy".
It's been a while since I've seen my parents.
I missed them more as I sang the song.
I'll try to express my sincere feelings.
("Goose Daddy" was the theme song)
(of a TBC radio drama and also a movie.)
(The song was banned because she sang it too sadly.)
(Lee Mija claimed to have suffered)
(hardships during the ban,)
(which made this song become special for her.)
(Composer Park Chunseok won an award in 1971)
(at the Baeksang Arts Awards)
(for the category of film music with the song.)
Here comes the eight performer, Kim Jaehwan!
(The eighth performance by Kim Jaehwan)
(Kim Jaehwan)
Hello, I'm Wanna One's Kim Jaehwan.
My parents are here today.
I'll sing the song with that in mind.
(Jaehwan)
("Goose Daddy" by Kim Jaehwan)
(Kim Jaehwan's "Goose Daddy")
Thank you.
(expresses one's desperate longing.)
(A young man's resentment)
That's amazing.
That was Kim Jaehwan's "Goose Daddy".
He's a good singer.
He wouldn't know much about these songs.
He wasn't around to learn about the time.
However, he understood the song very well.
I really want to applaud him.
You said he'll do well. What did you think?
When he was singing with 100 other boys,
I still thought his voice stood among them.
I thought his voice was easy to spot.
Are you saying the others are bad?
(Are you mocking the other boys?)
I'm sorry.
(I apologize.)
That was a dangerous thing to say.
I must have been crazy.
(Please do not misunderstand me.)
It actually has a good meaning.
2017 is the year of the chicken.
That means it's a year for all the boys.
You're good.
Not only is he good, he has a good tone.
I want to take him to a recording studio.
He'll be even better.
(Kim Jaehwan versus Min Woohyuk)
A lot of songs
were banned for ridiculous reasons
back in the days.
This song was banned
due to its sorrowful singing method.
I thought it was completely ridiculous.
Im Jinmo, please tell us about the song.
There are surprising reasons.
On a superficial level, the government banned
Japanese influences and sorrowful tones.
- Sad songs were banned. / - I see.
"Goose Daddy" was banned for its sorrowful tone.
(The song has incredibly sad lyrics.)
Was it a theme song for a movie?
It was a theme song for a drama in 1969.
The next year, it got made into a movie.
It gained popularity as a theme song of a movie.
It's one of the songs Lee Mija likes the most.
Kim Jaehwan is a 22-year-old man.
A 22-year-old man
sang this song.
He took this stage
after practicing a song he has never heard before.
How did you like his performance?
Firstly, I am proud of him.
- You are proud of him. / - Yes.
(She is proud of him.)
To be honest, my songs
contain the deep sorrow of the troubling times.
- He is too young for it. / - You are right.
However, he expressed it in a modern way
and sang passionately. I am proud of him.
There was a lot of competitions
in choosing the members of Wanna One.
He reached where he is through competitions.
All other members took parts
as trainees of agencies.
He was the only one without an agency.
That could be why
(It was a lonely fight of a young man.)
he accumulated deep sorrow despite his young age.
(Dongyeop has deductive skills.)
Do you think that might be the case?
Throughout the program,
I accumulated deep sorrow.
(The talented vocalist accumulated deep sorrow.)
That's why
I decided to unleash it on the stage.
Thank you.
All right.
Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Let's see the result.
(The result)
(Kim Jaehwan versus Min Woohyuk)
It's a match between the two popular men.
Will Woohyuk take four consecutive wins?
He came a long way.
Will Jaehwan of Wanna One take a win?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(Who will be the winner?)
(Min Woohyuk)
Please move to the center of the stage.
(Min Woohyuk takes four consecutive wins.)
Thank you.
(Min Woohyuk takes four consecutive wins.)
I will now pick our ninth and tenth performers.
Dongyeop picked third and fourth balls.
I heard this artist practiced very hard.
To have a husky voice and a rough singing style,
Park Hyeshin.
Is it Park Hyeshin?
She practiced until her throat bled.
I heard that she was secretly glad.
The talented vocalist who always pushes herself,
Lee Yejoon.
(Lee Yejoon)
Dongyeop picked the fourth ball.
This artist has a nickname from the fans.
She has a charming voice and beautiful looks.
It must be Hyeshin.
Her fans call her
Lee Hyori of trot.
It's her.
(Lee Hyori of trot)
The next-generation trot queen, Park Hyeshin.
(Park Hyeshin)
- Did your throat bleed? / - Yes.
I have a clear voice.
- That's right. / - No matter how I sang,
I wasn't satisfied.
I overworked my throat on purpose
to have a husky voice.
- I can't believe it. / - I did it on purpose.
Ever since I was little, this happened
when I picked up the phone and said hello.
"Hello, Chiyeul's father."
They thought I was my father.
Hyeshin, this is a meaningful moment.
I am very nervous to give my first performance.
Since Lee Mija picked me,
I want to pay back with a good performance.
All right. Lee Yejoon and Park Hyeshin,
- let's go. / - Let's go.
Lee Yejoon, let's go.
Hello, I am back again. I am Lee Yejoon.
(With a strong performance that captivated everyone,)
(she took two wins in a year and six months.)
(She became the star of Immortal Songs.)
(The talented vocalist, Lee Yejoon)
I thought, "Would I see Lee Mija before I die?"
- What will you sing? / - I will sing
"Camellia Lady".
("Camellia Lady" was a theme song for a movie.)
(Lee Mija is attached to this song)
(for it helped people remember her name.)
(This hit song enjoyed its heyday)
(by placing first for 35 weeks on music programs)
(and making a record in terms of sales.)
(She can't calm her heart easily,)
Here comes the ninth performer, Lee Yejoon.
(The ninth performance by Lee Yejoon)
Hello, I am Lee Yejoon. It's nice to meet you.
The song I will sing today is "Camellia Lady".
Before I sing this song...
My grandmother has Alzheimer's disease.
The only songs she reacts to
are "Arirang" and "Camellia Lady".
She might not react to it,
but I hope she will like my performance.
It's a personal wish.
I will sing "Camellia Lady".
("Camellia Lady" by Lee Yejoon)
(Heartfelt emotions for her grandmother,)
("Camellia Lady" by Lee Yejoon)
(Thinking about her sick grandmother makes her cry.)
My goodness.
That was incredible.
Yejoon sang "Camellia Lady"
with the hope of reaching her grandmother.
That's what made the performance special.
I think Yejoon might win this time.
I know that she was a talented artist.
Being on Immortal Songs
must have made her nervous
because she never showed her full capacity before.
I was at a loss for words. She sang so well today.
I want to vote for Yejoon.
You don't have the right to vote.
Only the audience has the right to vote.
You don't have a button to press.
(Lee Yejoon versus Min Woohyuk)
Please tell us
about the records this song set.
"Camellia Lady" is a theme song for a movie.
It starred Shin Seongil and Um Aingran.
The movie didn't do so well.
It was pulled from the theater.
However, when this song became a hit,
the movie was released again.
"Camellia Lady" marks the beginning
of the record industry in Korea.
That's incredible.
Lee Mija, you sang songs
in your 60th anniversary album
to open the second episode of the special.
Is there a reason why you are preparing so soon?
I began preparing because I don't know
if I will still be able to sing
after two years.
My voice isn't as clear as it was.
I don't know if I will be able to sing
on the 60th anniversary of my debut.
That's why I began to prepare ahead of time.
You will give a concert at Sejong Center,
- right? / - That's right.
In February of 2019,
I will release an album.
In April of 2019,
I will give a concert at Sejong Center
to celebrate the 60th anniversary of my debut.
It occurred to me
that I have an obligation to report to my fans
how I have lived.
For my fans,
I want to give that concert.
Please give her a round of applause.
Yejoon sang passionately
while thinking about her grandmother.
How did it feel to give the performance?
I couldn't stop thinking about my grandmother
once I started.
That's why I cried.
Min Woohyuk took four consecutive wins.
Will he take his fifth win?
Will Lee Yejoon stop his winning streak?
Let's see the result.
(Lee Yejoon versus Min Woohyuk)
He took consecutive wins with his filial love.
Will Woohyuk take five consecutive wins?
Lee Yejoon sang "Camellia Lady"
with her unique sentimentality.
Will Lee Yejoon beat Min Woohyuk?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(A son's love versus a granddaughter's love)
(Who will be the winner?)
My goodness.
(Min Woohyuk)
Congratulations.
(Min Woohyuk takes five consecutive wins.)
Thank you.
People say Lee Mija has a beautiful voice
of the century.
Let's talk about the artists' trademarks.
Jaehwan, do you have a trademark?
Yes, I do. The fans made it for me.
What is it?
It's my chubby cheeks.
Chubby cheeks?
- From the back... / - You can see them.
- Show us. / - My cheeks can be seen.
(She already fell for his charm.)
- My goodness. / - That's really cute.
Do you have a nickname?
- My nickname is / - "3D Cheeks".
"Boiled Dumpling".
- Boiled Dumpling! / - They say I look like it.
That's a cute nickname. Boiled Dumpling.
Yongjun, you also have chubby cheeks.
Me? I don't have them.
Yongjun is Fried Dumpling.
(Fried Dumpling)
Fried Dumpling.
He is a bit like Fried Dumpling.
He really is.
(She visited the show with passion.)
I am a singer who works diligently, Park Hyeshin.
It's nice to meet you.
(With her love for traditional songs,)
(she carries on the legacy.)
(She is Lee Hyori of trot.)
(The hot trot singer, Park Hyeshin)
How did it feel to receive an offer
to visit Immortal Songs?
Hold on.
(Thinking about the moment makes her emotional.)
(The nine years of struggles make her tear up.)
It's a much-desired
and precious opportunity.
I was even surprised to hear
that Lee Mija recommended me
for this special.
It's thanks to her I got this opportunity.
I want to unfold my dreams today.
Which song did you choose?
I chose "Sambaekri Hanryeosudo".
I always work hard to resemble Lee Mija
even in a way I breathe.
"The artist I like did well on the stage."
I want to see a smile of a mother.
I would be happy
if I see that smile on her face.
(Composer Park Chunseok)
(and Lee Mija released the song together.)
(It's about spring days in Hanryeosudo)
(when camellia flowers are in full bloom.)
(Lyricist Jeong Doosoo wrote the lyrics)
(thinking about a girl he was smitten by.)
(Her long-time dream has become reality.)
(I will sing with all of my heart.)
Here comes the tenth performer, Park Hyeshin.
(The tenth performance by Park Hyeshin)
(Park Hyeshin)
Hello, I'm Park Hyeshin.
(We're always rooting for our queen, Park Hyeshin.)
On this very stage,
I'll sing with all of my heart
and pour out my soul.
- Don't cry! / - Don't cry!
- Don't cry! / - Don't cry!
- Thank you. / - Don't cry!
I am very nervous,
but I'm grateful to be on this honorable stage.
I'd like to sincerely thank Mija
for allowing me this incredible opportunity.
(I will do my best to show you my gratitude!)
("Sambaekri Hanryeosudo" by Park Hyeshin)
(She paid her homage with utmost sincerity.)
("Sambaekri Hanryeosudo" by Park Hyeshin)
That was incredible.
That was Hyeshin's "Sambaekri Hanryeosudo".
The song itself is very elegant.
It reminded me of Lim Heesook.
- Moon Juran too. / - I think she is
- today's dark horse. / - Totally.
To be honest, her generation
didn't grow up listening to Mija's songs.
- That's right. / - But I could still feel
the sentimentality.
It's very important for female singers
to look like they have stories.
The ability to drive people's curiosity
and captivate their attention.
I've always thought that it's a necessary quality
- and Hyeshin has that. / - She has stories.
I really want to be friends with her.
I totally want to drink soju with her.
- You want to talk to her. / - Yes, exactly.
That is so true.
Jaehwan, what did you think of her performance?
I was mesmerized by her husky voice.
- Can you sing like that? / - In a husky voice.
Shall we ask him to sing "Confession"?
- Yes, let's do that. / - "Confession".
- Can you sing it? / - Can you sing it?
- Pardon? / - "Confession".
- "Confession"? / - Yes.
(Is that his husky voice?)
That reminds me of Boiled Dumplings.
It's too soft. It's way too soft.
- Pour it all out. / - How can it be that soft?
He's going to start.
(He sings as powerfully as he can.)
- He has a soft voice. / - He totally does.
Try this song.
♪ No, that's not right ♪
- That's your song! / - Can you do it?
You guys want to see him singing rough.
(Jaehwan is confused.)
Can you do it?
♪ No, that's not right ♪
- Whose song is it? / - It's...
(Humiliated)
He doesn't know the song!
Gosh, he doesn't know Kyungmin's song!
(I did this dance thousands of times.)
(The good old memories flash through his mind.)
It's my most famous song.
Jaehwan, Kyungmin's biggest hit
is a song called "Broken Friendship".
- Oh, right. / - It's that song.
(Feeling sorry, he gives another shot.)
- No, that's not it. / - ♪ No, no ♪
- No, that's not it. / - No!
- No. / - That's so not right!
- No, that's not right. / - Do it again.
(Park Hyeshin versus Min Woohyuk)
All right.
This is her very first time on the show.
It must've been a nerve-racking experience.
And today's legend happens to be Lee Mija.
I wonder how Hyeshin felt
while singing in front of Lee Mija.
Gosh, I knew that she's a great singer,
but she was really incredible today,
so I was very impressed.
What did you think of her performance?
As a singer, I have one last goal.
It's making Korean popular music
more elegant and refined.
I'm known as the Queen of Trot
and many people call me as such,
but I don't like the word, "trot",
as it's a loanword.
That's why I always ask the audience to call me
"a singer who sings traditional songs".
I'd like to thank all those who come up
with such elegant arrangements
of my songs.
Hyeshin is very expressive.
It's been a while
since I started noticing her on TV.
- You've seen her on TV. / - Yes.
I thought that she has a good voice.
She sang very well today.
(Hyeshin is moved.)
Our staff told me that you were ecstatic
when you got invited to our show.
- Yes. / - How did you feel?
Like Lee Mija said,
there aren't many shows where singers
who sing traditional songs can perform.
Through this performance,
I was able to show the viewers
that traditional songs can be transformed like this.
Being on this stage is a huge honor in itself.
I'd like to sincerely thank Lee Mija
for giving me this amazing opportunity.
(I'd like to sincerely thank my idol.)
(Mija is happy and proud.)
All right. On the other hand,
Woohyuk has won five times already.
He must be very grateful,
but at the same time, I bet he's like, "Okay."
(What's he really thinking now?)
"If I beat just three more, I'll be..." My gosh.
Please be honest. Doesn't finding yourself
becoming greedy sort of make you hate yourself?
No. That's not what I'm thinking at all.
Every performer has done a phenomenal job.
Every time, I think, "I'll lose this time."
But my light keeps turning on.
I'd like to sincerely thank you all.
He cleverly avoided answering my question
and charmed the audience once again at the end.
He sure is a pro.
All right. Let's see whom the audience has chosen.
Please show us the result.
(The result)
(Park Hyeshin versus Min Woohyuk)
This guy has been dominating the show.
Woohyuk's winning streak has been in full swing.
Will he beat Hyeshin and take his sixth win?
Hyeshin impressed us with her singing.
Will this rising diva be able to take her first win?
- Let's see! / - Let's see!
(Who will be the winner?)
(Will she take her first win?)
(Or will he take his sixth win?)
(The audience chose Min Woohyuk.)
All right. Proceed to the center of the stage.
Please congratulate him.
- My gosh, it's amazing. / - Woohyuk really...
This isn't easy. With the score of 420,
- he takes his sixth win! / - Oh, my.
Gosh, he's won six times.
He may actually end up beating everyone.
By 1990, Mija
had released 2,069 songs,
which got her into Guinness Book of Records.
She has released 2,069 songs.
Is there anything you want to brag about, Yongjun?
SG Wannabe set many records.
- They were a sensation. / - Exactly. Tell us.
During our busiest years,
we won the Grand Prize for three consecutive years
- from 2005 to 2007. / - Oh, my.
- We won it three times. / - Back in the days,
all men sang your songs at karaoke.
(All men tried to sing like SG Wannabe.)
- Yes, totally / - ♪ Goodbye, my love ♪
(Their singing sounds like crying.)
(Chiyeul mimics it to a tee.)
My gosh, you sound exactly like him.
- All guys sang like that. / - It sounded the same.
- I thought Chiyeul... / - SG Wannabe.
Isn't there a song called "La La La"?
(Now, he even sings through his nose.)
That was similar. Goodness.
Back then, SG Wannabe represented
- that style of singing. / - That's right.
I've sung at the most number of weddings
and they sang that song at my wedding.
- SG Wannabe / - They came?
- "La La La"? / - sang it at my wedding.
Is there anything you want to brag about, Jaejung?
- I'm sure there is. / - I bet he has many.
As you know, I debuted through an audition show,
so winning it has been my biggest achievement.
- Right. / - How competitive was it?
I think about 80,000 people participated.
- My goodness. / - That's so competitive.
That was when you were 19. Was it ten years ago?
No, it was four years ago.
Gosh, he's still young.
- That was mean. / - How old is he?
- I'm 23. / - You're 23?
I'll now pick our 11th and 12th performers.
(Lee Sejoon?)
(Kim Yongjun?)
I think the image we put forth is so important.
Because this singer mainly sings ballads,
people assume that he'd be a very serious person,
but he's actually so chipper.
He has a mischievous side too.
The charming balladeer.
It's Kim Yongjun of SG Wannabe.
(Kim Yongjun)
- My gosh. / - He seems very serious,
but he's actually bubbly and chipper.
Yongjun is going next,
which means you're the last performer, Sejoon.
Yongjun, Woohyuk has won six times so far.
You need to put a stop to his winning streak.
I'm always either the first or last.
I was the first performer the last time I was here,
- but today... / - This is better, right?
I'll do my best to show you what I prepared.
I hope you win so that I don't have to feel
so pressured to stop his winning streak.
What is it that you really want?
What's your big picture?
- I hope Yongjun... / - He's worried about the score,
so I hope Yongjun gets 421 votes.
Yes, that's perfect.
- You read my mind. / - Then you'll beat him?
Do you really have to ask?
(Why are you even asking?)
He basically said that the answer is obvious.
All right. Yongjun and Sejoon,
- good luck! / - Best of luck, Yongjun.
- Let's go. / - Good luck, guys!
- You got this! / - Go for it!
(The unembellished sincere voice)
(His sweet voice moves our hearts.)
(The handsome, sentimental singer)
(Kim Yongjun)
Even though I've been a singer for about 14 years,
I've never met her in person.
I think she really is a legend.
I chose Lee Mija's song called "Goodbye Seoul".
I could really relate to the sentiments
conveyed through her voice.
They're very deep and heart-wrenching.
That's what I felt while listening to the song.
When else would I get to meet her in person?
I'm truly honored.
I hope I can impress her with my performance.
("Goodbye Seoul" was used as a theme song)
(for a TV series with the same title in 1968.)
(It was also used in a film with the same title,)
(which made it widely popular.)
(Composer Baek Yeongho worked with Lee Mija)
(to create this major hit.)
(It's about going to Seoul to see a lover)
(only to find out that he no longer loves her.)
(Her sad voice makes our eyes well up with tears.)
Here comes the 11th performer, Kim Yongjun.
(Kim Yongjun)
("Goodbye Seoul" by Kim Yongjun)
(Longing is always accompanied by memories.)
("Goodbye Seoul" by Kim Yongjun)
(He transformed it into a song)
(about a man going through a breakup.)
The lyrics are about
coming to Seoul to see a lover
and returning home with disappointment.
In a way, this song is perfect
- for Chiyeul. / - Yes, totally.
- He comes to Seoul, / - Yes.
but his girlfriend breaks up with him.
- "Goodbye, Seoul!" / - "Goodbye!"
(I never went through anything like that.)
I can't relate to it at all.
I've been living in Seoul forever,
so I can't really relate to the lyrics.
Sonya, what did you think of his performance?
When he was sitting here with us,
I thought he looked like a boy.
- I see. / - The way he looks.
But as soon as he started singing, he turned
- into a real man. / - Yes, he did.
- He looked manly. / - Totally.
- It was very charming. / - A charming performance.
What about you, Jaehwan?
I couldn't take my eyes off of him until the end.
His vibrato is still ringing in my ears.
Who do you think will win, Jaehwan?
- This time, I think / - Who will win this time?
Yongjun will win.
- You think he'll win? / - His light might turn on.
(Kim Yongjun versus Min Woohyuk)
Movie and drama producers back in the days
must have tried so hard
to have Mija sing their soundtracks.
Jinmo, was this song also used in a film or drama?
Yes, it was used for both.
It happened to many of her songs.
This song is definitely
one of Mija's greatest hits.
Mija, what did you think of Yongjun's performance?
Being here today taught me why
this show has been around for such a long time.
Every performer gives his or her all
and that's what makes Immortal Songs so special.
I really felt that today.
And one more thing.
Dongyeop, you're really incredible.
Gosh, I'm flattered.
I can see why people love this show so much.
Please give them a big round of applause.
They certainly deserve it.
- Give them a big hand. / - Gosh, thank you.
Thank you.
Being complimented by the legend of all legends
makes me so happy.
By now, everyone in the waiting room
must be saying, "Woohyuk,"
"we must put a stop to your winning streak."
"You need to stop him."
They probably gave you such a mission.
Yes, they did say things like that,
but his performance was phenomenal,
so I think he'll win today.
You think he'll win.
So, you're saying Sejoon shouldn't even dream.
No, that's not what I meant.
I actually saw Sejoon rehearsing earlier.
I think the last round will be between them.
Oh, I see.
How clever. He changed his words so quickly.
All right. What will the result be?
Please show us whom the audience has chosen.
(Kim Yongjun versus Min Woohyuk)
The winner of Part One,
Woohyuk, aims to win Part Two as well.
Will he beat Yongjun and take his seventh win?
Will the voice of SG Wannabe
and sentimental balladeer, Yongjun,
be able to beat everyone's enemy, Woohyuk?
(Who will be the winner?)
(Who will be the winner?)
(The audience chose Min Woohyuk.)
Unbelievable.
It's really unbelievable.
Yes, all right.
Woohyuk can't even hide how happy he is.
Thank you!
(Dumbfounded)
I can't believe it.
I'm thinking, "Is this really happening?"
This is so crazy. I didn't expect this at all.
(He feels as if he's dreaming.)
- Amazing. / - Woohyuk is impressive.
That's really all I can say at this moment.
He took his seventh win with his score of 420!
(Woohyuk took his seventh win.)
Hello, I'm Lee Sejoon of Yurisangja.
(He knocks on our hearts with his beautiful voice.)
(The winner of Lee Mija Special Part One in 2014)
Lee Sejoon is the winner of Part One!
(Charismatically beautiful voice, Lee Sejoon)
I'll be singing a song called "One Flower".
I think it comes down to the singer's ability.
The song itself is great,
but I was amazed when I was listening to the song,
because I realized that even the same melody
can be transformed when it's sung differently.
I was utterly impressed by Lee Mija.
The winner of Part One if I perform in Part One.
The final winner if I perform in Part Two.
That's my goal. I've won Part One before,
but there were no trophies back then,
so I didn't get any trophy. What a shame.
That's why I really want to win a trophy today.
("One Flower" was released in 1971.)
(It was banned due to its lyrics and melody,)
(but the ban was lifted in 1987.)
(The lyrics that compare the sadness of being)
(abandoned by a lover to a flower suits Mija's)
(sorrowful voice. It was a widely loved song.)
Here comes the 12th performer, Lee Sejoon.
(The last performance by Lee Sejoon)
I'm honored to perform the finale of the show.
I'm truly grateful to stand on this stage
and to sing in front of Lee Mija today.
I'll be singing a song
called "One Flower".
In spite of its pretty title,
the lyrics are actually very sad.
I'll tell you the story through my voice.
(The sad yet beautiful story,)
("One Flower" by Sejoon, begins now.)
("One Flower" by Lee Sejoon)
(A beautiful sadness, "One Flower" by Lee Sejoon)
(Everyone is touched.)
He was amazing.
I think it was a perfect performance.
The way it was arranged,
- his vocal talent, / - The harmony.
his interpretation of the song
and everything was perfect.
I think Sejoon will win.
He always sings heartwarming songs.
I never expected him to sing like this.
It was so interesting.
- He sang "One Flower". / - Yes.
But it was as if he brought 100 flowers.
It is so difficult to set a record.
- It's hard. / - It is.
I almost thought Woohyuk would set a new record.
I didn't expect Sejoon to sing like that.
Do you think Sejoon will win?
Yes, I think so.
(Lee Sejoon versus Min Woohyuk)
Lee Mija.
Yes?
You look a lot like my mother who passed away.
I thought that since I was young.
During this show,
I keep looking at you more than
the performance on stage.
I'm having such a precious time right now.
You saw 12 different performers sing today.
What did you think?
I was very touched.
I also saw
how my songs could be elevated
to a higher level.
I'm proud of myself now because I feel like
I'm leaving my mark in history.
Every each one of them
sang my song with their body and soul.
I'm very grateful
and I want to praise them
for their amazing talents.
Please give a big hand to Ms. Lee Mija.
Also, I would like to thank
music critic Im Jinmo.
(Thank you for your commentary.)
This is very interesting.
Sejoon is the winner
of the 2014 Lee Mija special.
And Woohyuk is the winner
of the current special at the moment.
He is continuing the winning streak.
He's a strong contender
for the trophy.
Sejoon won the first part of the last special.
You probably want to be the final winner today.
I saw so many fantastic performances.
I would've been greedy before,
but today I'm expecting only this much.
(I do want to win.)
If your light is turned on...
(If Woohyuk wins...)
This would be the first time
someone winning eight times in a row.
Also, you would take trophies
from both Part One and Part Two.
How do you feel?
(He is about to set a new record.)
I guess I'm human.
I am greedy,
but his performance was so powerful.
I'll have to be greedy only this much.
These two men
will be fighting the final battle.
Immortal Songs, Singing the Legend.
The voice loved by Korea, Lee Mija.
We are waiting for the final result.

and be the final winner?

(Who will be the final winner?)

(ALi and her brother Jo Yongjun)
(Seo Eunkwang and his mother Hwang Soonok)
(Happy Thanksgiving with Family)
(It's starts now!)
(The actor family is here!)
(An exciting performance by a father and his son)
(Showing off their hidden talents)
(They reveal all their talents.)
My goodness. It's Immortal Songs.
(Do you know how fun Immortal Songs is?)
(Honey!)
(In a sweet relationship for eight years)
(A lovely performance by future husband and wife)
(A mellow performance by siblings)
(The first ever duet by a happy mom and her son)
(A touching harmony with her son)
(The name you want to keep calling)
(With celebrity families)
(Immortal Songs, Thanksgiving Special)
(Happy Thanksgiving with family and Immortal Songs)

Congratulations!

of Lee Mija special!
Congratulations!
Please give him
another round of applause!
Thank you.
Thank you.
(The voice loved by Korea, Lee Mija)
Immortal Songs, Singing the Legend.
Each one of the singers
did their best.
Also, the MC, the staff
and everyone put their body and soul.
They worked as if
they were one.
I hope that all the singers
would sing from their hearts
and do their best to show sincerity.
I'd be grateful.
